Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography for Functional Imaging in Vascular Research
Published on: June 8, 2022
Abstract:
The design for a fast absorption tomography instrument is presented. The instrument is capable of generating 100 projections of 100 elements each in less than 200 ns. It comprises temporally multiplexed fiber-optic fanbeam sources and large-area fast photodiodes. The spectral operating range is 200 to 1100 nm when silicon photodiodes are used. The sensitivity of the instrument is limited by laser speckle noise created by the fiber optic. The performance was evaluated by using a prototype system.

01:13Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
